And Jon Morgan was waived by Detroit. But at least it is now, and not earlier -- maybe he has a chance for Lions taxi squad, or another team's.

Maybe someone can contact the London bookies to see what the odds would be on how soon we will see "SUNY-Kalyeros University" . . .

"... the team and Thompson to come back put up solid numbers again ..."

Do you mean "come back" in the sense of "rebound," "come back from falling short, etc.", or do you mean in the sense of "return to UA"?

My gosh, what a wonderful video, and now that we can see and hear from them directly (and hear a lot, too!), it makes me more proud of them and the team. I don't think any other D-1 lacrosse players could quite express themselves the way that the Thompsons can in talking about what the game means to them, and the rez, and to their heritage/culture -- well, maybe other Native American players if they feel the same way, but there wouldn't be 3 such good players on the same team, would there? . . .the "medicine game," playing for the Creator, etc. It was also nice to see to see the practices at a really good lacrosse stadium (hint, hint future recruits). I didn't know about this NCAA On Campus feature, but I like it and will look for it.

Wow, I love the photos of the turf down, stripes marked, end zones, etc, looking like a real football place . . . when will August ever get here?! I'm ready for some serious college football. And I know it must be well known by now, but somewhere I have missed it -- is this a multi-purpose field --i.e., for soccer, too?

TU story quotes Ngachie on this question about the other "big-time" schools . . . apparently, some of those schools got hesitant about his size (5-11), and I like what Ngachie had to say about that.

About Ngachie . . . and I am an ardent supporter of UA football (and UA athletics overall), so I'm just asking out of curiosity, about Ngachie (this could apply to some others, too) . . . why do you think he would choose UA, given the list of offers has had? Move to CAA? a chance to play more immediately and perhaps get more recognition? the stadium? Believe me, I welcome them all . . . I'm just curious about what folks think.

Interesting story in today's NYT about FCS football programs reaching for the big-time in FBS . . . and about how for most, the economics just don't work. Several FBS schools are mentioned -- the article focus on UMass a lot -- but neither UA or Stony Brook are mentioned, although other CAA schools are (granted, more established ones). I'm sure all those anti-athletics types -- especially a lot of the faculty members -- will forward the article on the the new UA president, Lee McE., and others. Here's the link:
